Everyone needs compassion
And love that never fails
Let mercy fall on me
When everyone needs forgiveness
Kindness of the Saviour
The Hope of the nation
Saviour, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as you find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything that i believe in
Now i surrender
Shine a light in and
let the whole world see
Singing, for the glory of the risen king
Jesus, Shine a light and
let the whole world see
Singing for the glory of the risen king

I'm work free liao but then I'm errand-full.
Sighs.
But all for good cause.
-1:13 am
I'm running away.
From responsibilities.
It's totally irresponsible.
But it feels sinfully good.
This is spoiling my image in front of everyone.
But honestly, I don't know if I really care about that that much.
No more pleasing anyone, I'd told myself.
But it seemed that I've taken that a bit too far.
I hate disappointing and being disappointed.
But I think being disappointing sucks more than being disappointed.
I'm such a do-gooder sucker.
I don't know what I want. Someone please tell me where to draw some line
somewhere. I'm sick of figuring it out all by myself.
Yes, I'm being emo. All my perky-ness has been drawn away by the BBQ session this evening. Rarh. I don't know who I can talk to about all these things. I need to unload. All these opinions and thoughts about church/religious related stuff are eating me away. My radar is going off course and there's no navigator. I don't know who I can trust.
I'm such a suspicious person.
-going off somewhere to sulk. please don't mind me.-

"Janice!! I just got released from work at city hall and so is everyone else and all are walking around in work wear so smartly and the weather's so prickly cooling outside and the sky's like gloomy and not gloomy and... It reminds me so badly of London!!! Go on! Take a breather in the open air now!"-CindyAll it took was just
one message from her,
one cool breeze and the
dark and gloomy skies, I missed
London. I could almost imagine that I
WAS in
London since I was at
Raffles Place and there it was with all the skyscrapers and busy streets. It was almost like
City of London, albeit with freaking high humidity levels and smelly discharge from the vehicles.
The weather in
Singapore has been gloomy for the past few days. Not that it's a bad thing, since cool weather comes along with that package. It's just that rain can be troublesome and make people feel lazy all over.
But even if
London is like that, I gladly take on the whole package because it is supposed to be like that. It feels weird to have tropical
Singapore feeling like cooling
England. I don't know to feel
thankful or
miserable about it because all these weather changes are due to global warming - a clear indication our world is just going to go haywire sooner or later. =p
But no matter what, today was a pleasant reminder. =]

I know who died in Harry Potter! Hahahaha.
It's just "che", not a "OMFG" kind of feeling. There are some people whom she just can't kill. Saying that, I guess we can eliminate who are not being slaughtered. Apparently the book is action-packed. Alot of gore and blood haha. Suitable reading material for a 12 year kid not. Kind of hard for the writer to cater for the young and mature (people like us. wahahaha) readers. Can't have too much killing or the book may become M-18 for the kids. Too sedate and the mature readers will just be bored to death.
Someone please download
Hanazakari No Kimitachi E (THE JAPANESE ONE PLEASE) for me. With chinese subs too. English can be a little abysmal.

I figured this will be waaaaaaaaaay better than the taiwanese version. Of course many will dispute that with me, but honestly, I was put off by Ella's portrayal of Mizuki. The lead actress was from Nobuta (another great production! Akira-kun!!) and I think she perfected the art of ice-princess stoic look. haha. But looking from screencaps off blogs, she can act some. Of course I haven't watch anything yet, but then, I'm looking forward to it. Extremely.
Another japanese drama to look out for:
YAMADA TARO MONOGATARI
Anyone remembers the taiwanese adaptation for it? The one with Vic Chou? Yes The Vic Chou of F4. My goodness. I couldn't remember if I'd finished the whole series but yeah, it was funny some. I was more interested in the handsome rich friend of Vic's character though, Vic was a little too pathetic to watch. I know Taro has a hard time with his awesomely spendthrift of a mother but the antics he can somehow pull off didn't look particular humourous with Vic doing the acting. Japanese actors can pull off that though. Don't know if it's just them, their culture or just my plain bias. =]
The only taiwanese adaptation of a japanese manga I like is "
It Started with a Kiss".

Hell I even own the DVDs. And I can't wait for the second season to come out. Hurry hurry with the production. Ariel is good as Kotoko. Joe wasn't too bad, though at the end he made Naoki a little too passionate. But perhaps Naoki is just that - cool genius with some fire. Ice fire. What an oxymoron. =p Japanese drama was a little too short and the Japanese actress was a little shrieky. Acks. And she has big ears. ROFL. Made quite an impression. -muses- But 柏原崇 was droolicious. XD

Especially to a 12 year kid at that time.

I'm sick and tired of hearing that.
Honestly, he can do what he wants to do. I
seriously don't give a damn. Eventually he'll be out of our life. We will all move on.
He has explanations and he
SEEMS to have sincerity. But then, with all you guys don't giving a shithole of concern, it seems that my understanding is a tad TOO excessive. I know right from the beginning you guys don't like him. It didn't help when I liked him a whole too much more.
Time passed, things changed and so have us.
Can we just move on and get over all these?
AND FOR ONE LAST TIME, I'M JUST TRYING TO BE A BLOODY FRIEND WHOM HE THINKS THAT I AM BECAUSE HE THINKS I'M SO BLOODY NICE FOR NOT BEING VINDICATIVE.This probably all a charade. But really, whatever.

I changed my fringe. The parting to be more exact.
And I think I look much different. My old fringe looked super tu now. x) haha.
Pity my camera's not with me now. Or else I would have taken it down.
Taiwan trip is settled and ready to go. Now all we have to do is to wait for the day to come!
*Excited*
Can't wait for work to end too! 10 more days to go! I'll miss my colleagues though. xp

I should have started preparing my lessons 1.5 hours ago.
But yet nothing has been completed.
I should have helped B translate her stuff half an hour ago.
But yet nothing has been done.
I feel tired to the bone. And I mean to the bone.
Can I just throw away responsibilities and live my life?
Aiyes.
Anyway, Mr Yeo had passed away.. Utterly shocked and saddened by the news.. He was a wonderful and patient teacher, albeit too patient. Haha.. He was really a simple man with simple needs. A tremendous loss of the music world too.. If being his student for only a short 1.5 years can do this to me, I wonder how he felt since he had been under Mr Yeo's tutelage for more than 10 years.
I pray he's peaceful now with God at his side.
I feel like writing fanfiction/fiction now. But time and distractions never fail to squash that notion outta my head. The joy of creating something of my own.. I guess it never fails to bring someone this wondrous sense of pride.
Maybe I should continue with that little Squinoa resting in my laptop. =x

I guess it takes time to appreciate classical music.
Just finished listening to Rhapsody in Blue and Beethoven's Symphony No 7. They are fantastic but not a good critic that I am, so I can only say just that. And I got to know these masterpieces through Nodame Cantabile. Amazing how different medias help us to get to know the world more eh? Especially through the wonderous Internet. Can't imagine myself living in the world of the middle ages, where the Chinese Emperor ruled as the Supreme Divine Being. Of course Chinese has their beautiful music, but the knowledge of only knowing one world is so.. constricting. There's a world out there so grand and beautiful, it's such a waste of life to miss out on any part.
Luckily I was born into a time where knowledge is just at the tips of your fingertips. =]
Dinner at Waraku yesterday was eh. Fun? Haha. It was definitely enjoyable though it was tinged a little by some awkward service. We were served by a new waiter, so he screwed up most of our orders. Don't know if he's really confused or his confidence suffered a little setback 'cause A asked what his nationality was. They had a some miscommunication. He definitely had an accent but whether it was real or a farce, that's another matter. But that had probably cause some grief. So in the end, we got a bowl that was FOC-ed and complimentary ice-creams. Heh. Think the waiter was supremely pai-seh la. Some more he was responsible of our section, so he kept coming back the area. Bleh. Felt bad for him, though I don't know if he heard us speculating that his pay might get dock in order to serve us the complimentary stuff. =p
But anyway, the food's good! My udon was very Q and they served it hot! Aiyes I think I can no longer stay Can A food liao. Now I feel like going to The Central and try all the Japanese food there. The management really put in alot of effort to try and make it into a niche shopping centre. I mean the food choices there are numerous and one can't just finish all of them in a day. The apparel stores are quite unique too, a little like those in Far East.
Speaking of niche shopping malls, it's sad to hear that the Icon in Bugis is closing there. Of all its time there, I never managed to step into the building ONCE. Darn. Now I'll never know how good the stuff is. Or if it's ever good that is. =p
Anyway, to Ms JQ and Ms AL, I want the photos. Please send! =]]
04S62! Let's have a gathering! I miss you guys so much.

07.07.07A day to be remembered? Hmm not really for me. It's just the same old day for me. ;)
First of all, it wasn't a memorable start because, it rained. -_-

(view from my office)
That's not a very good omen. Particularly to those 777 couples who were getting married today. All these numbers for real anyway? Such a dreary and moody beginning. But well, I'm sure it's a wondrous day for them no matter what. Those who were really busy were the hotels who were packed for the ENTIRE day I'm sure. Even as I'm typing now, at least 10 couples are holding their dinner somewhere. Friends are sure in a dilemma as to choose which dinner to attend should they have at least two to go.
Aiyah, why they so kan cheong anyway? Next year also got 08.08.08. Isn't that better? Fa, Fa, Fa? Auspicious number in the Chinese Culture. And such triplets of numbers will occur for the next 5 years, till 12.12.12. No hurries. =]
Then it was a packed day in office today. Didn't have a break till like 1130? Gosh. It's good in some way, when time passes away so fast. It speeds up my days there, thereby quickly reaching when my job ends. I haven't have a good night sleep since don't know when. Everyday I have to be woken up by the alarm clock. My eyebags are permanently etched onto my face such that I only wear contact lenses when the occasion calls for it. I want my beauty sleep back. -__-
Met up with CO peeps for Hester's birthday celebration. Eh so much for a celebration when only 4 of us turned up. Including the birthday girl. AT could have come if we stayed for dinner but well, it was tiring after a long day. Anyway H had to leave for a family celebration too.. So.. But we had K Box in place of the movie watching. There wasn't much to catch. Hot Fuzz was selling out fast, so was The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. YQ I think that's a nice movie to watch. I'm SO SORRY that I pang seh you on that. We should find some time for that. Die Hard.. H doesn't even know the movie. WL wasn't interested. Ocean's 13 was not screening anymore. Sadded. I love their music man. It's 50-ish, 60-ish pop? Not exactly so I believe, (since I'm not a good music connoisseur) but it's that era la. Maybe it was a tribute of some sort to the Rat Pack of the 60s which Sinatra (Yes, THE Frank Sinatra) was in.
I learnt that I'm not a good k-boxer. I warbled through the songs terribly. Super uncomfortable. And I was using my throat all the way. No diaphragm skills at all. Aiyes. Lucky we didn't join the talent time. I would have mangled that song. Wahahhaha. But perhaps it was just the cold. K Box should learn to reduce the carbon emissions by increasing the temperature. It was
way too cold to sing properly.
Here's a picture of the birthday girl and her present. The Kitty is reallllllllllly nice. Soft and fluffy. Superb texture too. =] Made me and bel-chan want one too.
(She went shopping with me on friday heh. I miss my favourite fan-girl. And I miss our fan-girling sessions. xp)

Ms H and her Kitty

The Kitty herself. She's really good to play with. =]

I'm going to
NDP 2007~ =] All thanks to roomie hehe.
It's been a while since I've last been to a parade and I'm excited to go!
Imagine the nice albeit trying-to0-hard-to-be-fashionable bags and their goodies.
Whee!
And I should just go find out the guys who are involved in this year's parade. Haha. Bet there will be many.
Parade parade!
But the song is... a disappointment. It appears that the organisers are feeling lazy. They just remixed older versions. No wonder the song sounded familiar when I first heard it.
懒惰!
